Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1098262, member: 15929"]Such misinformation. It does not matter WHAT the retailers charge since the rounding ONLY Occurs on the final bill. The absolute MOST anybody would ever pay on a rounded up bill would be 2 cents. It doesn't really matter if the individual pieces cost $1.02 or $1.05 as the rounding occurs on the final bill. Retail establishments could only EVER get an additional 2 cents out of each "individual" customer. Most customers don't give a fresh frog fart about 2 cents any way as instead of carting it around, they'll drop it in the penny barrel or the donation box! BTW, the Half cent was eliminated because there was no longer a need for it just like there is no longer a need for a one cent coin despite the squirming and figeting that groups who like to "waste taxpayer money and then whine about government spending" do. BTW, when someone figures out how to stop inflation, then and only then would I ever consider price increases to be unjustified. Until then, price increases are just a way of life which no individual or group of people has ANY control over since it is a free country.[/QUOTE]
